Bug of the Day

I am getting weird Gulliver's Travels vibes from this photo of a May/June beetle (Phyllophaga sp.) that turtled at the light last summer. If I had art skillz I would draw the ropes these flies are obviously using to keep the beetle tied down lol.

ENGERUB | The Grub Pokemon Ground/Bug Type (Engerlinge = An old german word describing all larvae of the family Scarabaeoidea | Engerlinge+Grub = Engerub) POKEDEX ENTRY: The name “Engerub” actually describes two species of Pokemon that are hard to differentiate. Only the distinct Y-mark on their buttocks reveals which of the two beetle species they’ll evolve into. The thick layer of protective fat makes this grub a highly sought after meal for Flying-type Pokemon.Thus Engerubs rarely dig their way up to the surface and mostly stay underground. Farmers and Forest Rangers consider this Pokemon to be a pest for eating away at the roots of trees and hedges.

Hey guys! SURPRISE! I made a Fakemon for a change! :D I'll be sharing its evolution over the course of this week! I made 9 Fakemons in total and am looking forward to sharing them with you guys! :D Hope you'll enjoy!

May Beetle - Phyllophaga sp.

Digging in the soil and turning over stones to place fresh mulch has uncovered more than simple Wireworms to examine. While helping my parents rejuvenate the backyard with sack upon sack of cedar mulch, a few photogenic insects were discovered beneath the landscape fabric. Before the large-sized insect I’ve found were May Beetle Larvae and Cicada Nymphs nestled in the earth, but this time there were a multitude of adult May Beetles to find! 6 individuals total, all just from a small section of the the yard, and that’s just some a sampling of surface level soil. In any case, they’d all finished their pupation but hadn’t yet dug all the way up to the surface. It must have been a rude awakening for them to suddenly go from earthy darkness to the approach of summer. Given how some of them fly into light sources when above ground I’m not sure all of them have fully woken up. In all seriousness, the shift to live above ground is a big change for these subterranean Scarabs: they need to switch diets from roots to leaves, they need to make use of their new wings to navigate long distances and find mates, and the surface has different dangers compared to the underground. Even the air is different up here!

Consider the lattermost change: underground air isn’t easy to come by and there are many earthen particulates to keep out of a spiracle. The Larvae are tough however, and well-suited to underground conditions (and fortunately insects can temporarily halt their breathing when conditions aren’t favorable) whether foraging, tunneling, defense or finding air pockets. Conversely, when above ground as an adult there’s air all around to take in and provide extra power for locomotion and flight while coated in heavy armor! Metamorphosis creates many amazing things, but Phyllophaga Beetles can only fly so well under the circumstances...usually into light sources. I’ve been divebombed a few times over the last few weeks at night by freshly emerged Beetles who’ve tunneled their way upward. It’s like a series of glossy beans popping out of the garden or the forest! The individuals dug up during gardening got it easy and can now enjoy the summer air and delicious leaves. Their time for the year will likely finish soon, but if you’re sharp-eyed, look for cylindrical tunnels in the soil. May Beetles dig their way out from below, and if there is one tunnel, there may be more prospective Coleopterans nearby to find prodding their way out...at least until Cicada season is upon us!

Pictures were taken on June 3, 2023 with a Google Pixel 4. There’s no better insect to showcase as May changes into June. And remember, though they may startle you with their first impression/collision, they are perfectly harmless little beans.

Finally got around and rounded up all the flower photos I have taken over the past few weeks.

I'm seeing a theme with theses

here are some other photos that are not flowers under here ↓

Here's a beautiful sunset and animals I came across a May beetle found on the road and a Garter snake, which is a rare sign to see in the open while outside for lunch.

Bug of the Day

Guys, I am dead serious here - if these came in a supersized version that was like the size of a Pomeranian, I would be walking around town with one on a leash ;-D

(May/June beetle, Phyllophaga sp.)

CLUMCHAFER | Fairy / Bug This oversized beetle just wants a hug and greets strangers in the woods by charging straight at them to embrace them with WIDE OPEN ARMS - causing them to flee in terror, intimidated by the SHEER SIZE of this strange antlered beetle. Clumchafer didn't mean to scare anybody, it just wanted to say hi!!! With a hug. And then take you into the woods to introduce you to all its friends. It's just overly social like that.

European May Beetles (aka C*ckchafers - don't laugh) are my favorite native bugs so I've ALWAYS wanted to create a Pokemon based on it :D They have such beautiful antenna that look like antlers, BIG GOOGLY EYES and they are the clumsiest bugs I've ever seen in my life. They are terrible flyers and keep landing on their back, unable to get up on their own. You wouldn't believe how many of these guys I end up picking up at night in May when they buzz around, crawling over the streets like tiny idiots. Gotta save them from themselves with how easily they get killed by a car or a cat who finds them on their back.

So I based Clumchafers personality on just how goofy and clumsy Maybeetles are. Not to mention Maybeetles fly with their arms spread wide as if they want to embrace you in a hug. So that's why Clumchafer wants to do exactly that: Hug complete strangers it meets in the woods. BETTER RUN FOR IT :'D

With those infos out of the way THE FAM IS FINALLY COMPLETE!!!

I'll probably change formats for the next two fakemon lines, I might reupload Engerubs complete line in one post for consistency... Thanks to my Patrons for supporting my livelihood!

This beetle scared the crap out of me last night! It flew against the door very noisily and then I had to figure out how to get back inside without letting it into my flat!

It was huge too! Somewhere between 2-3 cm (about an inch)
